Shared Use

What is shared use?

Shared use, sometimes called joint use or community use, occurs when an entity agrees to open their doors for use by the neighborhood. While many equate shared use with playgrounds, shared use can also include the creative reuse of vacant land, athletic fields, classrooms, and many other underutilized facilities.

Entities that can participate in shared use include:

Government

Public

Private

Nonprofit

Faith-based
